Dear you (insert name of person reading this),
I wrote this poem especially for you.

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, stay safe and warm, and remember what's important.
With Love,

Whatever Your Practice
Whatever your practice
Whatever your creed
I wish you the vision
To aid those in need.
I wish you the strength
To conquer your ills
The solace of knowing
You'll take care of bills.
You'll take care of bills.
Whatever your practice
Whatever your truth
I wish you denial
To revel in youth.
The loving connections
That tickle your heart
The faith and the courage
To embrace a new start.
Whatever your practice
Whatever your way
I wish you the spirit
To keep hope at bay.
The blessings of safety
The gifts of the earth
The virtues of holding
True to your worth.
Whatever your practice
Whatever your fate
I wish you the inkling,
"It's never too late."
When chocolate's all gone
And life, a big chore
I wish you the means
To go get some more.
That was sweet. Loved it!!
ReplyDeleteThat was very sweet and nice of you.

HOHOHO Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was hoping to skip Christmas and just be Jewish this holiday (since the kids will not be with me and I got an invite to hang with some Jewish folks instead) but now I'm at a crossroads.
ReplyDelete1. Do I accept this poem and all of the love that comes with it?
2. Do I run from all things Jewish (*and honorarily Jewish) so that I CAN accept this poem?
3. Do I accept this poem AND pretend to be Jewish this holiday, therefore giving me extra benefits? I mean, the atheists put up a christmas tree and give their kids gifts, right?
I'm going to go with "OMIGOSH, I wish I could send you chocolate for Christmas but you don't celebrate it and Hannukah is over, so when my dear - WHEN - is your birthday?"
PS - How did you know Elmo + Robyn was my fave?
Thank you. That's a fabulous poem. Many blessings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the poem Robyn! Many chocolate wishes to you
ReplyDeleteDear Lord,
ReplyDeletePlease give Robyn an inexhaustible supply of chocolate that will keep her mouth sweet forever.
Amen
Love it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas!!
Robyn, I am not really sure what I believe in any more, except for chocolate. I DO believe in THAT!
ReplyDeleteNice one Robyn - hope your Chrismas is filled with lots of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat last stanza really speaks to me. Namely of chocolate. haha
ReplyDeleteVery sweet poem. Happy Holidays.
Thanks, Robyn - Merry Christmas! And I celebrate the reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays Robyn. Have a blast at your friend's and try not to eat too much chocolates. O what the heck, eat a LOT of chocolates!
ReplyDeleteBabysis, have a wonderful Christmas with your loving family. xo
ReplyDeleteHonorary Jew (aka OT), L'chaim! Thank you. Brisket and ham to you and yours. ;0)
Gigi, back to you, dear friend. xo
MajorMack, Merry Christmas! Thanks for being a new follower. [-;
Miley, I love ya. You always make me laugh. My b-day is as far from Christmas - I mean, the holidays- as it gets (end of June). What to do, what to do...I vote for pretending. You know, the "Fake it til you feel it" thing. It's worked for women of all faiths for centuries. Happy, happy. xo
AFare, you're welcome and thank you, friend. =-}
Baygirl, thanks. Chocolate wishes back to you for a lovely Christmas and new year. xo
Dear Lord, please, oh please, consider GB's prayer frequently and often. Thank you. ;0)
Yakoi, thank you. Merry Christmas. xo
Judie, the chocolate lords and I approve. Love to you. <o:
David, thanks. I think I can look forward to homemade fudge. I'm happy. I like this Christmas thing. xo
IT, hey, you're welcome. Thanks for sticking around for another year.Enjoy the season. ;0)
TS, I had to end on a chocolate note. Happy holidays to you and yours. Thanks. xo
Alex, I'm glad someone does. Merry Christmas. (-;
Sarah, oh, alright. Merry Christmas, my dear real life friend. xo
lovely, sweet words and chocolates too...enjoy the weekend...that's my wish for you... ;)
ReplyDeleteI think everyone here wants to wish you a happy Hanukkah but no one really knows how to spell it. Hope you have an awesome holiday season!
ReplyDeleteSo what movie are you going to see? What chinese food will you be enjoying? Thanks you for your fill in the blank wishes. Seems appropriate for this shallow time of year.
ReplyDeleteRek, thank you kindly. xo
ReplyDeleteCheeseboy, lol. Ask any 2 Jews how to spell Hanukah, and they'll give you at least 3 answers. I've calculated 12-16 ways. It's rather intimidating for such a benign holiday. Cheers. ;0)
Kal, I'm sad that you read it that way. No movies or Chinese for this gal. I'm home nursing a cold, but I'm good with that. I've got cocoa. Hope your spirits lift. xo
Love ya!!!! Happy Happy Whatever.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for every word you have given me to help strengthen me and warm my heart! I think you have no idea how many people you touch with your comedy and heartfelt posts.
Hugs as always!!!
That was beautiful!! Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteMerry Merry and Happy Happy.
Pearl
Aww, that was awesome, Robyn! Such a lovely sentiment. You have a wonderful Hanukkah this year!
ReplyDeleteMerry XXXmukkwanzahgiving.
ReplyDeleteYes, while culturally neutral replacements like 'the Holiday season', or 'Winterval' are easier on the eye and the tongue, I think the above formulation works.
Either way, this post is neat. It's a shame that I haven't kept up with the blogosphere of late, especially since you were pretty supportive of mine around this time last year.
Thus, I cordially invite you to take a look at my smarter, sexier, better new blog, Geist Bites.
If you get a chance, have a look; if you like it, subscribe; if you're full of Christmas cheer, spread the word!
Peace,
Technolust
Thanks Robyn. That was beautiful. Plenty O Chocolate here. At least until it's gone. :)~Ames

Techno, I like your holiday word. I'm guessing spellcheck doesn't. Thanks for dropping by. Be well. xo
Ames, that's the thing about chocolate. It requires frequent replenishment. =0>
